I am doing a quick little drawing to give one lucky page fan an original piece of collage art - it's one of my favorites that I did back in 2007 titled "A Bird in the Hand" and is one of my creepy-girl type collage cards. It's 4x6 on watercolor paper and done with mixed paper collage and paint and ink. This style of mine came about after getting really into Teesha Moore's Zettiology, with a little bit of Misty Mawn flavor mixed in <3

To be included in the drawing you just need to go LIKE my gemgirlart fanpage on Facebook! I will use a random name picker to select a winner from all page likes on FRIDAY JUNE 20 - I'll announce the winner there , and will update here on the blog and on social media too.So, thanks a bunch, and good luck!

Outside today was wet & chilly and basically YUK. But I had some leftover @kellymcnelis crockpot #whitebeanchickenchili so I was kinda like “eh, whatever-weather, do whatcha gon’do” 🤷🏻‍♀️ #chili topped with #avocado #cilantro & #ALLtheSOURCREAM 😬 #gemgirlcooks #gemgirleats

WORD of the YEAR? It goes >here< — #gemgirlgiveaway — so I ran up on this “started but unfinished” art board in the studio and since I’ve long forgotten what it was GOING to be, but it cannot just sit undone - let’s give it away, huh?! Tell me your word of the year for 2018 (if you do that) in the comments and on 2/14 I will pick a random post to get this piece lettered & colored with ya werd & send it to you for year-long inspo...

This is, quite literally EVERY*ARTICLE of CLOTHING I OWN. Or, “owned” - as of this morning; 5 bags went to charity, one to the trash. #konmari (*besides what I was wearing at the time) Look at that closet in the way back 😮😍💖😘 #closetcleanout #purge #homeorganization #tidyingup #declutter
